Bungie Announcement Pulled by Publisher

By | July 15, 2008 | Xbox 360 |

As you may have known, bungie.net had recently been replaced with a count-down (and a very ominous series of messages) due to reach 0 at approx 10am EST/7am PST.

According to a message posted on the site by Harold Ryan (President of Bungie Software), Bungie had been working over the past several months towards announcing “something exciting Bungie has been working on”, however due to their publisher’s (Microsoft) plans the announcement has been pulled.

The new announcement date for the information is unknown but we are assured it will happen “when the right time comes”, until then we just have to wait patiently and try not to get too worked up over the delay.

This is sure to anger a great deal of 360 gamers, so I hope the backlash was taken into consideration when they made the decision to delay the announcement.

Expect Delays Indeed…you can read the full message on the bungie website.

    Oh my god this is VEERRRY interesting. Could just be a coincidence though.

    "think about the message before hand

    Keep it clean

    Please remain calm

    Services will resume

    No public access

    Emergency lights active

    Proceed with caution

    Sounds a lot like bungie telling everyone not to freak out!!

    Two more things. The css template for the page is called Main_Chillout.css Chill out if you recall is the map that was recreated from halo 1 and recently released as cold storage for bungie day. 7 million killed. So why is the time that the message was at 7:00. Why pick that time?"

    I noticed on their main website, that there was finally 7 billion Halo 3 campaign kills TONIGHT. This message was posted at 7:00 TONIGHT. And the letter is 7 lines long. 7/7 was bungie day. Very suspicious.

    There's a H4 in the source code. Lol I wish it was Halo 4.

    We here at 360Sync are pissed… and investigating…

    Look at this guy on the bungie forums. His username is lllllll (7 L's) and he has a special rank on the forums. Almost like a moderator, but it is called Superintendent. Very weird.

    Incredibly disappointed. Bungie's announcement was the only thing I was (Really) anticipating at E3.

    Ends on August 7th

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/ericdc34811 ericdc34811

    It's 100% real. Bungie confirmed it. No more conspiracy theories.
